I tend to agree. Being a narcissistic asshole isn’t the same as being evil. In the first case, it means doing bad things because you are self centered and have no regard for other people. The bad things aren’t done to hurt others, just to in a self serving way. Being evil requires an intent to do harm.

There are plenty of people who are jackasses to those around them, and ruthless in business.
Describing someone or something as evil really calls for something a bit more dramatic.
This.
